PIG

Published on March 2, 2016

A simple catching game. Use a suitable ball or something the players can catch like a bean-bag.

Players stand in a circle and throw the ball between themselves. Doesn’t matter if you go round in a circle or players ‘randomly’ choose who to through to. Catching can be one or two handed. Everytime a player fumbles a catch, drops the ball, they get one letter from the word “PIG”, in effect having 3 lives. So first time they drop, it’s “P”, second drop it’s “I”, third drop it’s “G” and out of the game!

Consider limbless, for an alternative version which makes it more difficult to catch each time.
